Summer is coming, that means off season for many collegiate athletes who will come back home to the bay area. Athletes from Pepperdine, Oregon State, UCSD, CAL, UCLA, and many others programs will come back through our doors hungry to get ready for the next season. Below are just a couple of the athletes we see every off season and how that work pays off for them. “College Ready” is a program designed to train collegiate or first time collegiate athletes for the demands of high level athletics. Its not about getting in shape.  Its about performing at the next level where talent is not enough. You need to have a smarter program and outwork your competition. Are you college ready?

Monthly Program rates available.

Craig Massoni of Austin Peay having a phenomenal season. 

craig masoni fieldingClarksville, TN – Junior Craig Massoni hit .634 to lead Austin Peay State University to a road sweep against UT Martin last weekend, earning the pair adidas® Ohio Valley Conference Co-Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, the conference office announced, Monday.

Massoni made it two weeks in a row and three times this season he’s earned at least a share of the OVC’s weekly honor. The Danville, Calif., native was 9-for-14 on the weekend, collecting three hits in each game against the Skyhawks.

He opened the series with a 3-for-5, two-home run, five-RBI performance in a 9-5 victory, with his first-inning, three-run blast securing the lead for good and his second making him the second Gov in as many weeks with a two-home run game – P.J. Torres hit two out, including a solo walk-off in the Govs’ series-opening victory against Morehead State.

He ‘only’ went 3-for-4 in the second game, and finished the series with a 3-for-5, two-RBI Sunday performance that included a solo home run and an RBI double.

Massoni ended the weekend leading the OVC in all three Triple Crown categories – his .391 batting average is 16 points ahead of Morehead State’s Kane Sweeney, while he’s tied with Tennessee Tech’s Zach Stephens in home runs (16) and RBI (60)

The slugging first baseman takes over the team lead in weekly OVC honors by a Bat Gov. Massoni now has three weekly honors; senior outfielder Cody Hudson and senior closer Tyler Rogers have two apiece, while Delgado and senior shortstop Reed Harper have been tapped as the best the conference has to offer one time each.

Dash Oliver CAL Track & Field

dash 2013

In Season: This year Dash is finding the form he lost a few years back during high school. After two seasons of not coming within two tenths of his best as a prep he is now consistently running in the 10.6 range. Just recently at the PAC 12 championships he ran a wind aided personal best of 10.49. He is now headed to the NCAA regional qualifier meet next week.

 

Off Season: Dash worked a lot on regaining his acceleration skills. Block work, body positioning, and arm drive were critical for returning to top form. Regaining the power he’d lost is helping propel him to better performances this season. CIMG0651
